Netherlands v France team news: Right-wing Frimpong + bench for Mbappe

Day eight of this European Championship ends with team news from the Group D clash between the Netherlands and France. It kicks off at 20:00 BST in Leipzig.

Both were victorious in Matchday 1 so winning here will give one of these a strong chance of finishing first, where they’d face the runner-up of Group F: Portugal, Turkey, Czechia and Georgia.

The pre-match talking point has been the status of Kylian Mbappe (€11.0m) after the superstar forward suffered a broken nose against Austria. He’s masked and on the bench, as Aurelien Tchouameni (€6.0m) replaces him in France’s only change. It could be Antoine Griezmann (€9.0m) as centre-forward.

Meanwhile, it’s also one alteration for the Netherlands. Jeremie Frimpong (€5.5m) is listed in the game as a defender but steps in for Joey Veerman (€6.5m), meaning he’s higher up the pitch. Some huge out-of-position potential.

Popular players Virgil van Dijk (€6.0m), Theo Hernandez (€5.5m), Mike Maignan (€5.5m), Xavi Simons (€7.0m), William Saliba (€5.5m) and Denzel Dumfries (€5.5m) all start, as expected.

MATCHDAY 2 TEAM NEWS

Netherlands XI – Verbruggen; Dumfries, de Vrij, van Dijk, Ake; Schouten, Simons, Reijnders; Frimpong, Depay, Gakpo

France XI – Maignan; Kounde, Upamecano, Saliba, T Hernandez; Kante, Rabiot, Tchouaméni; Dembele, Thuram, Griezmann

          will have myself because not using a chip, but think theres a good chance he gets a rest as well if portugal beat turkey

          just abit meh for those on LL if they sub him in last matchday and he doesnt start, but the potential for a big haul is there. tough choice

    Does POTM update overnight? Baumgartner still has 8 points on the app.

    WC on MD3 or QF?

    I have already used my Limitless.

    My team currently for MD3:

    Moldovan
    Guehi-Tah-Mittelstadt-Dimarco
    KDB-Kroos-Shaqiri
    Lukaku-Kane-Mbappe

    Costa-Calhanoglu-Faes-Fernandes

    So?

    A: Use it on MD3
    B: Use FT instead and WC on QF

      QF a huge risk imo, not enough transfers to change from your second round players if it goes pear shaped. If you're doing ok I'd just it MD3 or leave it to the semi

        Sorry disregard thought you were using limitless not WC

        Qf for sure then, most of your team other than maybe Kroos will probably play

      I also used LL in md2 but will WC in md3 simply to maximize opportunities. Md3 has 12 ganes. Qf just 4.
      Of course if a team like Germany And england are out in r 16 i ll be screwed
